AeroTech has produced a "repair kit" that consumers possessing unfired J1999N-P reloads manufactured prior to July 2010 will be able to obtain at no cost through any authorized AeroTech high-power dealer. This kit includes three replacement propellant grains, a new nozzle, grain spacer o-rings and revised instructions. Customers are requested to return their unfired J1999N-P nozzle(s) and instructions to their dealer to receive the repair kit. The complete J1799N-P reload kit will be available for purchase from AeroTech’s dealers at a suggested retail price of $119.99 each. AeroTech anticipates shipments to its dealers to begin in approximately 2 weeks.

Someone post a close-up photograph of the end of one of the new grains. I want to see if they fixed the real problem or if it will reoccur.
Maybe a photo of old and new side by side would be instructive. Thanks. The file referred to as instructions, "ba746bb3-55b0-4e70-804f-3f90e49c8e25_54_1280n_in_20075.pdf" states in part, "DO NOT use Copper thermite to ignite a Warp-9 propellant motor." Comments made at LDRS-29 indicated aftermarket igniter method was not a factor in the many failures there. I agree. So why the instructions change?
